The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) still considers Armenia its ally, despite recent statements by the country's Foreign Intelligence Service, a source in the organization told TASS.

Earlier, the Foreign Intelligence Service of Armenia in its report considered it unlikely that the grounds for freezing the country's participation in the CSTO would change in 2025, to which it had agreed in 2024.

“Yes, the organization's secretariat is aware of this statement by the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Republic of Armenia. However, we still consider Armenia an ally and continue to interact with Yerevan in a working manner,” added the TASS interlocutor.
